happened to me, is feels so weird having cds you want to save them for something

#

cause in outlaw idk how it is now

wild condor
#

The carpal tunnel is real bro

lean portal
#

but back in the days you spammed everything on CD you didnt really have one

wild condor
#

Oh for outlaw you just send everything on CD

shy pecan
#

Unless it's like a really high key and you're in charge of taking out like an abom or something and it's about to come up in like 30 seconds, it's just baffling

#

Also crazy the guy only hit KB seven times on trash

runic hinge
#

I need to be better about just sending

wild condor
#

Damn I mean the way I use KB in trash is see which mob is most likely to live it or just down a priority mob that might 1 shot the group

shy pecan
#

Yeah, that's the ideal situation, but sometimes, just have to do what whispyr said moments ago and just accelerate the opener and fire

wild condor
#

I think about it this way, if I nuke the mob that chain casts like crazy and making it die faster and that way the run is smoother

shy pecan
#

Yeah

lean portal
#

for deathmark you just slam on prio and even if it dies with 8s left kingsbane well its better that saving it for next key

shy pecan
#

Yep

lean portal
#

and kingsbane you have a free one between 2 deathmarks same its free might as well use it

shy pecan
#

Yeah

wild condor
#

If you have a DH or a BM then you will always be bottom Dps but a least you nuked the mob that was troublesome and that’s way really matters

lean portal
#

if you play sudden demise you can impress everyone with a 3M execute i think thats worth everything

#

your dps is fucked but your group is like wtf

wild condor
#

Yeah idk why people have the mindset of Dps higher mean better player, you can have a BM do stupid damage but die a lot or not kick anything and only target non deadly mobs

shy pecan
#

Because people are stupid sometimes

wild condor
#

If you have it in you to make the run smoother and better for your party then I believe that’s the real mindset

shy heron
wild condor
#

It’s kinda why people bring Aug to the party lol 🤣

shy pecan
wild condor
#

Even tho they should delete Aug

shy heron
#

Aug is the coziest safety blanket ever

wild condor
#

Yeah but it also makes the brain ded hunter more brain ded

shy pecan
#

I dunno. It's not even an aug thing. Just a player thing

lean portal
#

having aug feels like the key is 3 levels below

#

what it is

#

aug in 24 you feel like youre doing weeky

shy pecan
#

Like just because you have an aug doesn't magically let you do 200k more DPS or survive shadow bolt volleys. You still have to press buttons

wild condor
#

Yeah true but if I feel like having a Aug makes the other dps go wild with not paying attention to stuff and only focusing on dps

lean portal
#

if ppl are bad they're bad ofc

wild condor
#

True lol

shy pecan
#

Like I ran a 23 BRH last night with an aug evoker and a dev evoker. Tank does big pulls, which is fine. However, if it's just me doing like 1 mil dps and the dev evoker doing like 250k on like the first hallway, it won't matter what an aug evoker brings because that trash is stay alive for a while and we'll all just die to bleed casts

lean portal
#

250k is crazy

#

is deva that bad

#

never seen one XD

shy pecan
#

It's not, the dev evoker never hit dragonfire

lean portal
#

its proc dependant ?

shy pecan
#

Nah, it's a two minute CD that they just never hit

lean portal
#

oh by hit you mean use

shy pecan
#

Yeah

lean portal
#

well if he didnt hit it in first big pull of the dj

#

he is just special i think

shy pecan
#

Yeah

#

Aug can help with some stuff, but the other two DPS actually still have to do damage for there to be an actual effect

lean portal
#

ofc

keen spruce
#

aug is roughly a 7-10% damage loss in 5 man content

#

but also like. dungeons are hard because they one shot you with avoidable damge

#

so why not bring the lizard that makes that happen 1-2 key levels higher

#

and pay the damage tax

#

also, you have a dev evoker doing 250k damage. which is very bad. but if you didn't bring the aug you might have also had a boomkin doing 250k damage

#

then you're extra fucked

shy pecan
#

I dunno, boomies can pump

keen spruce
#

so can devs

slate crown
#

Requires they push the big red “pump” button

lean portal
#

yeah if you have an animal youre fucked evoc or not

keen spruce
#

but like if you bring an aug then you only need to fine ONE other dps with a brain

#

instead of 2

shy pecan
#

I mean, the key was fucked. Shit was taking too long for the size of the pulls we were doing. C'est la vie

worthy surge
#

Hi all wondering if sin rogue is still worth it in keys around 20 to 24s with out a priest for pi

shy pecan
#

It's fine playing that range without a PI

#

People do it all the time

worthy surge
#

My healer is swapping to druid and I thought maybe sub or outlaw would be better since we have a druid paly dh firemage

lean portal
#

nah you're chilling

#

pi is not a big deal on packs i feel like

#

its good but you can chill without

balmy condor
#

pi loses a lot of value if you aren't able to use it as a kingsbane steriod with deathmark

#

and typically in keys if you're hitting something with deathmark and kingsbane

#

that mfer dying with or without pi

worthy surge
#

Yeah that's all we used it for kingd bane death mark windows

balmy condor
#

so not only are you capped on energy most of the time cause aoe dots

#

but you're also just not getting value on the kingsbane

#

like on sustained 5 target here

#

assa looks good

#

but it's also getting full value from everything

keen spruce
#

I can confirm that even everbloom abominations

#

in +27s

#

this week

#

don't survive you KB

#

your

balmy condor
#

if your target dies even 4 seconds before the end of your kb

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

that 30k plummets

#

real hard

keen spruce
#

well your DM one at least

lean portal
#

my guild found out about the pi data

#

either i kill my bm in game

balmy condor
#

Uh huh

lean portal
#

or i swap to sub

#

ideas

balmy condor
#

Why not just play assa

lean portal
#

im behind my feral druid

#

without pi

#

its tragic

balmy condor
#

On what boss

lean portal
#

nymue

balmy condor
#

I wouldn’t sweat it

#

Sub probably better but like if you don’t wanna it’s not gonna be that much of a problem

#

It’s like 5% better not 50

lean portal
#

yeah ofc

arctic socket
#

yall ever get so bored

lean portal
#

im a bit bored of assa also i think

arctic socket
#

you go and reclear mage tower?

balmy condor
shy pecan
#

Same

silk bane
#

idk man subs like so much cleaner

#

imo

#

but obv im biased

balmy condor
#

It’s just kb boss kb add kb boss kb add kb boss

#

You have it for every intermission and every boss phase

silk bane
#

im probably then turbo cooked, cuz i legit remember getting 4th degree aids playing sin on prog on neemo, but that was like over a month ago so maybe I cnat remember

earnest remnant
#

yeh u cooked

#

Assa was chill af on nymussy

silk bane
#

yeah probably then, i switched to sub week 2 of tier so it was just week 1 sin degening

#

im almost 24, getting old, the memorys not with me anymore

#

its joever

lean portal
#

you have to delay your cds by like 15s

#

for adds

#

but it doesnt feel that bad yeah sin is fine

silk bane
#

^ yeah thast wht i rememberd too

lean portal
#

im just bored + i just want to play sub to top details cause after like 20 try this fight becomes boring for melee

#

only thing to look at is details i feel like once you got the muscle memory for lasers XD

silk bane
#

sub has its own issue LOL this was the first ads damage on our last reclear, and uh, both subs are going to the same tree cuz wft

#

and uh the ad may or may not have died in like 7 seconds

#

and we had to run to the other side cuz the other ad was at like 75% when ours died

#

also subs knida weird cuz i go middle 2nd set of ads, but i would have to sit on blades for like 30 seconds if i wanna cd that ad, so i usually cd boss and have nothing for the ad, but then our uhdk has cds so she carries it hehe

lean portal
#

oh you hold blades ? on lorrgs io ive seen ppl just blading on 1m

earnest remnant
lean portal
#

like before adds

runic hinge
silk bane
#

nah i tried outlaw a few days ago for fun, that spec sucks. its just adhd spam. i felt like i was on 18 coffees just slamming shit

#

so unfun

runic hinge
#

Sometimes I actually wanna try sub this patch but my brain might be too smooth

silk bane
#

idk i feel like this is the most fun ive had playing any spec in wow (i started end of SL season 4 so not tha tlong ago but yea...)

#

sub just feels so incredibly fun and rewarding

#

takes a while to get a hang of it in keys specially but once u do man its a journey

#

also u can wait a few more days, some no dust cooks are being made right now lol

lean portal
#

yea it looks so fun but its super hard to learn

#

harder than arcane

runic hinge
#

Arcane didn’t seem that hard it just seemed like muscle memory but I wasn’t willing to put in the effort

#

Pretty sure they have cast sequence macros for your burn anyways

lean portal
#

true

#

but i learned without

#

and well it took me time too

#

but sub is burning my brain

silk bane
#

its like sub but without the ability to actually contorl cd timers

cedar gust
#

hey guys, quesiton, if i do keys around 20-23, should i go for crimson tempest or the ST build?

balmy condor
#

should both be fine

#

I'd probably recommend arterial

cedar gust
keen spruce
#

i played arterial shock until about 25/26 range then played cleave until 27s and am now getting forced onto outlaw dead

lean portal
#

by arterial you mean bleed ?

#

with like sudden demise etc

keen spruce
#

it has sudden demise

#

it's on the wowhead page

#

this one

lean portal
#

yes ok ty

#

dont rly know names ^^

keen spruce
#

np np

#

ig it is kind of all of the bleed talents

#

never thought of it that way

lean portal
#

and even in tyrannical you run this in 24 25 ?

#

i swaped to cleave from 22 but id love to play this

flint marsh
#

!up

keen spruce
#

also you just kinda don't need the extra AoE power in most groups

#

you're gonna have a DH or something kinda killing everything

#

and even with cleave you're just more focused on getting KB up and running quickly. still does good AoE in CDs

#

and better boss / prio damage which is kind of all that matters rn

lean portal
#

yeah i 100% agree

#

ok thanks

Dagger from igira

#

The buffs it can give you

past forum
#

When playing dtb in keys, do you all take off crippling on sanguine weeks? I had 2 different tanks malding at me yesterday cause they “can’t kite mobs out of sanguine when they’re perma slowed”

wind dune
#

yea I do personally. Makes things rough especially when you get a nice shiv in there for 90% slow. basically rooting them in there

raven flower
#

yeah bit of a grief

#

same reason people don't like frost mages on sanguine weeks

past forum
#

I guess, idk. I mean like i tank a bunch and ive never once been annoyed by slows. It’s the random roots from frost i didnt like

#

In fact slows can help u kite a big guy away from dying lil guys cause they’re moving different speeda

dark token
#

Without losing a lot of dam

#

It's either run a build without DTB or lose lethal dose

#

Or play sub

#

Imo if tank asks you to take off and you don't wanna go sub, do the AP shock build

#

Honestly if you were tryharding keys sub is the play cause they can run improved wound poison for basically gree

past forum
#

Crippling counts for LD? Damn didn’t know

dark token
#

Yup

past forum
#

Fuck them tanks, then

spice surge
#

Its only 1 LD stack, its not gonna absolutely grief your damage

spice spire
dark token
#

Like I said if you keep wanna play sin and your tank cares a lot just use AP shock build

#

It's probably more overall dam anyway

#

You just lose 7-8% boss dam

#

Not a big deal

#

Or just ignore em

#

Honestly I've been doing sin keys this week and tempted to go wound poison for a lot more dmg loss

#

But at that point I should just go sub

spice surge
dark token
#

Wound poison is less than half the dmg or less of amp/instant

#

But it's less of a deal for sub where it's only 1% of their dam

#

Sanguine healing can be very high, reducing it by half is more damage (like 70m) vs the poison dmg (like 20m) based on my logged keys

#

Most keys I did sanguine was between 100-150m healing

spice surge
#

But tooltips are known to be silly geese sometimes so maybe

strange python
#

So I simmed the nick of time daggers against my crafted ones same ilvl and I dropped 20k dps, does timestrike not sim?

runic hinge
#

It does

#

Link your sim

deft vault
#

for 20k drop you either lost 2/4 set or wrong talents

strange python
#

i think i may have simmed them 6ilvls lower nopw that i lopok at it, running it again see if its better

#

wow typing is hard

fallen walrus
#

Is assa easier then sub and out law or is that untrue and how is it easier if so ?

strange python
#

ok it is still a 1k drop though

runic hinge
#

You’re dropping your BSL for it

#

Put BSL on something else and see if it’s still a dps loss

#

I also don’t understand why you have one blue silken lining and a toxified patch that’s doing nothing

strange python
#

tbh i have no idea

#

i didnt know if they worked together or not

runic hinge
#

They don’t. You would need one of the boots

strange python
#

so are they canceling each other out?

runic hinge
#

No

#

The patch is doing nothing because it amplifies the effects of the boots

strange python
#

oh...

#

thats because im stupid

runic hinge
#

Your blue silken lining on your dagger is getting unequipped when your sim the nick’s

#

So you’re losing an embellishment there

#

That’s the dps loss

strange python
#

i fixed the sim it helps a lot

#

thanks i didnt realize i was doing that ill get the boots asap

runic hinge
#

You could also just do blue silken lining on your ring and belt or different crafted pieces

strange python
#

ill do it on the ring

runic hinge
#

And you can equip that twice

#

Ring/belt or ring/legs

strange python
#

ooh ok thanks!

exotic hearth
#

Is signet brand worth it in M+ or would embersoul be better?

drifting cloud
#

those 2 trinkets shouldnt be competing for the same slot

keen spruce
#

but also signet brand is bad in m+

#

your default m+ setup should be branch + pips. you can switch out the branch for an embersoul if you don't want to mess with picking up orbs

spice surge
#

If you keep the stacks maxed throughout the entire dungeon its a very good trinket

#

But you cant do that in stuff like dawn

sweet dawn
#

If you're just constantly hitting things do you not lose stacks?

keen spruce
#

stacks drop in like

#

what 8 seconds or something?

#

you can bring in like toys or external items to keey yourself bonking something

#

but realistically in a pug

#

you're gonna have downtime

#

cursed sanguine build

#

try it at your own risk

#

if the tank is good sanguine shouldnt be more than 1-2 min slow overall

#

if the tank is bad, its 2 min slow on every pull

arctic tusk
#

when do you ashes in DM i forgot

royal lantern
#

macro ashes with kingsbane

spring socket
#

!wa

arctic tusk
#

also whats the fastest way to open on a 7+ target pack

#

if they wont live long

median flicker
#

roll outlaw

#

jk

midnight atlas
#

3 garrotes, ruptures fok crimson

#

then spatter, if they live long enough you can use kb without dm

arctic tusk
#

what if its like first pull lust

#

you would prob wanna send the dm kb

median flicker
#

if it's first pull and ur lusting that pack you should be sending cooldowns yeah

midnight atlas
#

1st pull with lust you send dm kb into a prio target, preferably a target nobody else focuses, hard to do in pugs

#

like 1st bear in dht he survives even focused by all

#

but those mobs in brh are different, you solo a caster

storm forum
#

the big guys that spin in Fall usually dont die fast either

#

but they might spin during ur CDs so

midnight atlas
#

you dont focus those spinners, you focus chronomancer

storm forum
#

at your own risk

midnight atlas
#

its like 4-5 of them depending on pull

storm forum
#

anyways, 2 ways to look at it. if you expect things to die before you get any value from CDs, like in lower keys, or 18s youre blasting with geared guildies, you can play shock (AP, demise, no DTB), and full DoT, shiv when they get low and save CDs for the next pull or the boss.

#

or if youre playing a DTB build, you can do a really quick opener

#

like gar rup gar snd

#

and then start bursting on a prio target

#

and use SD to spread bleeds

#

while in CDs

midnight atlas
#

in 18s you can press shit on cd and still time it kekdog

viscid spear
#

Got the Bandolier from cache, how is it?

midnight atlas
#

its good for outlaw

viscid spear
#

Figures

storm forum
#

its okay in AoE, we prefer other stuff though

viscid spear
#

Well my other trinkets are a Pip's badge and a 418

storm forum
#

pip's is very good

#

your other trinket really needs to be a stat on-use (Ashes, Branch, mirror for M+ only).

viscid spear
#

Yeah, about to hit up LFR

storm forum
#

but bandolier is really not that bad

#

take it if you have nothing else

viscid spear
midnight atlas
#

yes its good compared to what you have

#

press it on cd

#

Prolly a dumb question..but is it Amp and Deadly or do we use Instant? Ive been away from Rogue since S2 of Shadowlands. Trying to catch up with everything 🙂

balmy condor
#

Amp > deadly > instant > wound

#

If you talent into a poison

#

Probably should use it

if im simming to see what stats to put on the ring craft, should i do patchwerk, single target, etc? idk if im doing it right because haste is simming the highest for me

slate crown
#

Haste is fine

storm forum
#

We like haste

slate crown
#

Also Patchwerk

#

Also, doesn't really matter

#

Our stats are extremely close in value

#

!stats

storm forum
#

Haste/mast was highest for me

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

If the robot says you do it, you go for it

im only at 27% crit

Doesn't matter, robot accounts for that

#

also, for keys like 20+ how much vers are you guys running? do you have specific vers gear? or is it not needed til like 25+

storm forum

For high keys I just take ellusiveness

yea i just switched off cheat death

I'm running like 10% vers

#

are you talking about for the weekly vault?

vast shuttle
#

me?

shell pawn
#

yees

vast shuttle
#

no i mean my keystone how do i upgrade it

limber lion
#

By playing the key

shell pawn
#

by timing your current keystone

limber lion
#

And you get +1-3 levels on it depending how fast you complete it

vast shuttle
#

i did a mythic+ 5 and it still lvl 2

limber lion
#

was it your key

vast shuttle
#

nope

limber lion
#

guess not

vast shuttle
#

i need to create my own party?

plucky sable
#

ur key goes up and changes when its ur key you run

limber lion
#

if you want to upgrade YOUR key

#

you have to play YOUR key

#

Or you get a big key from vault if you do a weekly this week

#

and open vault next week

vast shuttle
#

do i need to upgrade it or can play others?

limber lion
#

.

#

gl

plucky sable
#

go on group finder, premade groups, dungeons and press start a group then list

vast shuttle
#

yha i get that but will i get better gear if i join a lvl 10+ and mine still lvl 2?

plucky sable
#

yes the gear comes from the key you run not the one in ur bag

vast shuttle
#

oh i see ty then

#

never done pve iam pvp player

shell pawn
#

haste+ crit simming the best hmmm

#

still cant get the DHT neck to drop

#

or t swift

#

did i do this right? seems super low increase for 20 ilvls of secondary stats

#

might wait til i get a better neck and sim it again so i dont waste resources

runic hinge
#

if you have $10 and you buy two cokes for 10 minutes and burgers, now the first coke only last 2.5 minutes then you spend less to burgers and buy another coke, still $10. The difference transferred to burger difference not money wise

sweet ridge
#

should i be refreshing my envenom at 1 sec

#

or whenever its available to go?

#

i dont know if its stacks with the existing dot\

shell pawn
#

as late as possible unless you are in KB window most of the time, if you are starved after each envenom you would most likely want to pool to like 70% to get more consistant chains

#

watch whispyrs vid on pooling

it also comes with a socket

so I just slapped a haste/crit gem in there on top

i was simming with no socket because my current one doesent

balmy condor

that's fine

#

just round down on those results a bit

#

just getting confused looking at all the BiS lists running mastery and crit, i guess the answer really just is sim yourself...

but should be much higher

I'm actually quite happy with how I'm playing on prog in general this tier

I'm feeling good until our kill and I die and my parse is awful

bitter compass
#

Is there an optimal amount of Crit/Mastery we should be going for?? Or just as much as possible??

#

Or is it a "sim it" scenario?

balmy condor
#

Sim

#

Yep

#

Stats are variable

#

At some point you’ll see vers gems and enchants be recommended by your sim

#

And that’s normal

bitter compass
#

Without simming, I'm guessing a little bit of Haste would help

hey guys quick question. I've never played rogue in my life but always was very intrigued by assassination. I'm not the best wow player by any means. Do u guys think it's worth a shot to pick it up? i've been tempted for a long time but i am scared it's too difficult for me. thanks 😉

He will recast it

But if hes casting it right as hes about to go into the intermission and you vanish he will do his intermission instead, so on some very specific ones you can use it well

ok for reference, to all the people in here who actually do hard content, what are considered high enough keys for racials to matter?

Hi all, I'm running swords in SoD. Saw a guide that said envenom is better than eviscerate for PVE. I haven't played for a long time - any tips? I'm using saber slash and slice and dice etc

sorry I'm in the wrong channel, my bad, season of discovery 😄

balmy condor

it's real crazy high

storm monolith
#

ok just making sure i'm not crazy

#

cause i just got roasted then kicked for playing worgen on sin rogue in a 14

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

idiots

plush lagoon
#

no worries! Dunno how I managed to not realise I wasn't in the classic discussion channel

royal lantern
#

its av+14, thats the most wannabe elitist lvl mate

balmy condor
#

+14 is 10.1 alt territory

storm monolith
#

i mean i don't plan on doing stuff beyond maybe 22 to be honest. i like challenging myself but there comes a point where it's more like a job than having fun

balmy condor
#

a 0.2% dps in racial difference or being able to cleanse an extra debuff every 2 minutes

#

is actually not doing anything for you in a +14

storm monolith
#

but getting told my racial is bad in a 14 and then being removed for not playing optimally is just......... like wtf man

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

the classic "+9 need aug" party

#

they see it in MDI or hear about top meta from some streamer

#

and the streamer goes "yeah have to play dwarf to live this thing in my key"

storm monolith
#

i was under the impression that meta comps don't become required till you start doing 24+

balmy condor
#

and then they go "oh dwarf is the only race"

storm monolith
#

i don't do high keys so i don't know

balmy condor
#

it's just people demanding only meta in ridiculously low keys

#

cause they're stupid

storm monolith
#

but i DO do low keys enough to know it really shouldn't be a problem

storm monolith
#

i still play league

#

meta doesn't actually exist in league till you hit diamond, i know this feeling well

royal lantern
#

if yes, m+ in the +7to +20range and heroic raiding/very low mythic raiding is basicaly the league silver/low gold player base

storm monolith
#

i just had vain hopes that wow community would have higher standards for being stupid

lean portal

i dont think meta exists in league solo queue ever

tbh

storm monolith

it does

can't wait for whispyr to do something on a whim for a week because he feels more comfortable with a different talent and then someone sees him take it and tells everyone it's the new meta for sin

Well ye the way the spec is right now you pretty much need to learn it on a fight-by-fight basis, which is kinda odd

And then you get more raid dps and the timings change OMEGAKEKW

naive valve
#

is it typical with the arterial M+ build to be super bursty at the beginning of boss pulls and then just fall off?

#

maybe im just inexpericed with energy pooling but tyran bosses feel icky with this build

balmy condor
#

I think that's pretty typical with just assassination as a whole

#

burst specs as a whole

naive valve
#

gotcha

#

trash feels great, IDC changes are suuuper nice

#

bosses, not so great :P

balmy condor
#

yeh, if you are only getting off one set of cooldowns

#

then that's your damage

#

pooling properly only can do so much

naive valve
#

that's something i still need to learn, onlyu just getting back into sin now since guild just got aotc last night

balmy condor
#

yeh, it's important but it's not gonna really do much about how you're feeling

#

damage during cds, not a lot of damage outside of cds is just the spec

naive valve
#

thankfully most rogue cds are pretty low

royal python
balmy condor
#

and when dance last 6s

#

number down

#

and number down bad

#

cause damage lower

#

hope that helps

royal lantern

lower dmg higher dmg low high low dmg high high

#

gotcha

oblique jackal
#

Whispyr, Do you think the sin nerfs were justified?

#

It seems like sin is back to wher it was before. Hardly played

oblique jackal
#

Trying to understand sin's dmg profile and why it even exists if the other specs do it better

royal lantern
#

they ONLY touched assa

#

which is a bit weird

#

but like, sub/outlaw (espacialy sub) will get a hit aswell soon, so peeposhrug

oblique jackal
#

I feel like sub won't be touched because the playstyle is more challenging to obtain good results

royal lantern
#

?

#

first of all "sub so hard omg" is 1 of the biggedt circlejerks in this game

#

even more so when people did it during times when sub was legit a braindead spec

#

and "X is "hard" so it cant be nerfed for Overperformance!!!" is 1 of the most stupid takes possible

woeful meteor
#

the only hardest part about sub is openening lorrgs to copy timings of someone that has a similar kill time and putting the timings into perso note

balmy condor
#

what's confusing about it

#

it's very good at passive cleave, and very good at bursting if its allowed to ramp

#

the only thing that makes assassination "bad" is that subtlety is arguably the best spec in the game right now

#

that's not assassination being bad, that's just sub being really strong

royal lantern
#

when secret tech does like 20000billion dmg too everything, yeha

balmy condor
#

by the same logic you could wonder why any spec would ever exist

balmy condor
#

oh, beast mastery is doing more than survival

#

why does survival exist

#

cause the spec is fun and it does what it needs to do man idk

#

being able to pull statistics from logs might be the worst thing that's ever happened to the meta

#

cause now assassination is a "below average spec"

#

but if you take a minute to look, all of these specs are within 5%

#

and it's like

#

are we really gonna argue over that

#

yeh, the bar is longer

#

but get real

keen spruce
#

dead spec gib back my 3% worry_stick

balmy condor

and even then

you can open up a log

#

Having your damage tied to a long duration dot is inherently a weakness compared to doing all that damage in 1 second. There needs to be reasons to make that playstyle desirable if they are both going to parse the same overall.

#

Sure if you are just fighting one target for 3-5 minutes it doesnt matter

#

but as soon as you throw an add into the mix the dot class is at a huge disadvantage.

dark token
#

That's what sudden demise is for fyi

misty holly
#

Here's a totem you have to kill it in 6 seconds or the group wipes. Great all my damage happens over 18 seconds

#

guess we wipe

dark token
#

People talking like we don't have a way to instantly bleed out targets

fleet pagoda
#

Yalnu's add ain't lookin twice at sudden demise

dark token
#

Yalnus add also lasts long enough for you to dmg it

fleet pagoda
#

Just not an aug enjoyer this season, on-demand damage seems too valuable and it's a sore spot

dark token
#

Aug dmg is bad but living is good

#

That's why high keys have an aug

#

You can take longer to kill if everyone has 20% more dr

fleet pagoda
#

I know... I'm just saying aug being more relevant makes our damage profile more niche

#

I feel powerful in most situations but those few I don't, I really don't xD

knotty vapor
#

is there some trick to getting back into stealth other than vanishing when the tank just endlessly chain pulls 2-3 mobs at a time

#

I asked the tank to do bigger single pulls so I could stealth between them, and they told me to play a better spec 😐

spice spire
#

Can dance

balmy condor
#

the correct response from the tank should've been "restealths for you aren't important enough to change my chaining, and chaining is better for your dps"

knotty vapor
#

so what's the best way to keep damage up without getting to restealth often

balmy condor
#

you rupture a new target for caustic, maintain a rupture/garrote or two for energy

#

and then dance comes back up

#

and you're good to go

#

it's a 1 min cooldown

knotty vapor
#

so basically just rely on dance

spice spire
#

Use your CDs more aggressively. 99% of the time I look at key dps and it sucks. People just hold CDs forever

knotty vapor
#

well I definitely pop kb and dance very often

#

death mark not so much

spice spire
#

Use it all.
Obviously don’t blow dm on a dinker pack right before the boss

#

But just ABCD

knotty vapor
#

alright

shy pecan
#

Better to fire and at least get some value than to never fire and lose out on casts because of it

knotty vapor
#

fair enough

slate crown
spice spire
spice spire
gaunt sigil
#

Race change to Nelf for Meld to stealth more to spread bleeds gigachad

#

Also I tend to not always hold vanish for deathmark in keys. I’m already spreading DoTs with SD in my DM window so I sometimes use Vanish if I think the chain pull could benefit greatly from me respreading bleeds

lean portal
#

if you have pulls synced with your cds its better but if not idk

balmy condor
#

Vanish in m+ is basically exclusively for bleed spreading

#

Outside of bosses I wouldn’t even consider using it for kingsbane crits

lean portal
#

agree

but what if you dont crit

then you go from the top 19 aoe spec to the top 20

#

Stop casting tea at the start of your kbs

#

Otherwise looks okay

#

Pooling could’ve been a bit better

#

Got some ambush cp overcap which is weird

#

Even with improved ambush that shouldn’t happen

slim estuary
#

is that wrong

#

I try not to do it if I only have one in the bank

balmy condor
#

You always tea the last 6 seconds of kingsbane

#

Which makes tea at the start pointless

#

Using tea charges purely to chain is fine too

#

But using tea at the start of kingsbane purposefully is just never correct

slim estuary
#

I don't purposefully time my tea for the start of kb, if I don't have energy for envenom I will pop one to make sure I have buff. Is this fine?

gaunt moat
#

only if you're sitting on 2 stacks of tea

#

otherwise just pool before KB

balmy condor
#

So it’s getting pretty difficult for me to believe that you’re not doing it on purpose

#

When 3/4 of your non-DM’d kingsbanes have a tea slapped on the front

#

And with basically identical timing

#

That’s pretty wild

gaunt moat
balmy condor
#

Either you’re the most consistent rogue I’ve ever seen in my life and happen to starve on energy to the point of struggling to chain at precisely 1 and 3 minutes in on every pull

Or you’re putting them there on purpose

slim estuary
balmy condor
#

You say one thing but do another idk what to tell you

#

Those teas are better used to maintain the chain, and since you’re using a charge at the end of kb anyway, it’s not an efficient usage of tea double up

damn i was just thinking about sub too. i was like "they only get 10s here and there" but wow

royal lantern
#

if i wanna channel my inner hate

#

i would play DF sub

vestal wren
#

haha fair

royal lantern
#

actually impressive how you can put so many bad mechanics into a single spec

vestal wren
#

i don't think most of them are bad

#

just a lot of added complexity for the sake of it

royal lantern
#

i mean, that is bad

vestal wren
#

it makes learning the spec hard

#

because every spell becomes its own science

royal lantern
#

its not about learning

#

it just plays bad

dark token
#

i get why people take elusiveness in most keys but i dont see mechanics that need it in thone/rise/waycrest manor Hmm

#

yet people still take it

#

whats the 1shot feint doesnt work on

royal lantern
#

i mean

#

you dont need CD either this m+ patch

#

and elusivness also makes evasion a button you actually press

dark token
#

you never "need" CD its just nice to have

royal lantern
#

which is really good for things like the golem in waycrest

dark token
#

golem?

royal lantern
#

goliath

#

idk

#

big tree soul thing with the thorn

dark token
#

his only aoe is feintable

#

and you cant predict soul thorns

#

unless people pre feint literally every cast

#

which is a possibility

royal lantern
#

its litearlly about the thorn itself mate lol, just use evasion and when iot hits you, its fine

dark token
#

ok sure WM but what about rise

#

or throne

royal lantern
#

no sane human does rise

royal lantern
dark token
#

isnt that already feintable Hmm

#

idk havent needed to so far but only did 26

#

if you position correct it wont double tap u

royal lantern
#

like, idk

#

this patch in shit+ just feels less "some random shit would have 1 tapped me without CD"

#

and instead all dungeons have 1-2 bosses that do very interactive "targeted ability/group dmg that does 140% of your max hp, survive it"

dark token
#

"interactive"
